ILLINOIS RIVER IMPROVEMENT CON.
VENT[0N,

A committee of nine Peorisns, with
Isaac Taylor as chairman aud A. J, Bell as
secretary, have Issued the following call for
a river improvement convention
A Convention will be held at Peoria, on
Tuesday, the 18th day of October, 1881, at
II o'clock a. m, for the purpose of giving
expression to the sentiment of the people
on the proposed improvement connecting
the waters of Lake Michigan with the
Mississippi River, cia the Illinois and Des-
PLANES Rivers TO Joliet, and wide and
deep Canal from Joliet to Lake Michigan.
Citizens of Illinois and adjoining States
who favor the improvement are cordially
invited to be present and take part In the
Of representation will be fixed at one rep.
resentative from each county for every 500
votes cast for President In 1884. If no
meeting Is called to appoint delegates In
any county, the Mayors of the cities or
County Judge In such county, and those
whom they may send, will be accredited as
delegates. We earnestly request liberal
attendance of delegates and people to this
Convention. The questions pending are
OF national importance and especially of
great moment to the people of the West.
The perfection of great waterway, cap.
able of steam navigation from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico and through
the very heart of the best portion of the
American Republic, is Of vast importance
to the industrial and commercial interests
of the whole country and especially the
West Then let us make this large rep
resentative Convention and endeavor TO
organize an efficient and harmonious plan
by which we may place the great merit
and urgent necessity of the improvement
sought advantageously before the coming
session of Congress.

TARIFF REFORM.

EDITOR FREE TRADER; The Slogan Of
Protection, is i" Protection and Prosperity
Free Trade and Pauperism," and by con-
stantly repeating, men come to believe it.
But where, since time began, Is there a
fac. upon which to found the theory ?
Where, since the world emerged from the
chaos and mists of tradition, did trade
ever pauperize a state? sour friends,
the enemy" who are practical men, dis
pising theory, might certainly cite us a
single instance when trade wrought ruin
to the people. First, last and midst, in
ancient, modern and medieval times, pros
perIty has taken up Its abode with those
states that traded most freely. The his
tory of our own country formsno exception
to the rule. Because Of our almost limit

As largely enhancing this view of the
eminent safety of the interest OF the coun
try In Cleveland's hands, is the universal
conviction of his firmness and courage, and
the general feeling in regard to him, In adj
dition, that he is thoroughly upright man
and magistrate. These are elements OF
strength which no bloody shirt howl OF

soldiers can In any serious measure affect
and the reelection Of Cleveland, therefore,

alone, must be regarded as among the solid

In another place is printed a call for
con 0 be held at Peoria on the 18th
of October next, looking to the improve
ment of the Illinois river as a navigab!e
stream.
1t is hardly necessary to remark that the
convention ought to be made as imposing
a demonstration as Is possible to make It..
Aside from the importance of the work In
general, there is the immediate, pressing
necessity of action on the part of Congress
In order TO save from lapsing the grant to
the nation of the present canal and river
Improvements; for, should that happen,
MANY years of valuable time and vast eX
penditure of energy will have been lost
That action of Congress can only be has
tened by the demands Of the people press
ing them on to the necessary action.
1t Is, therefore, of the highest impor-
lance that every county be represented.
According to the terms of the call, this
county is entitled TO 30 delegates In that
convention. AS it is not likely a conven.
ten will be called to appoint them, that
work will devolve upon the Mayors of
cities and the County Judge. No fault
Will be found with the geographical distri-
button Of delegates, we apprehend; the
main object is to get 80 active representa-
,ives from this county in the convention,
and their selection can safely be left to
the gentlemen named.

That the aggregate national wealth i,

Columns might be filled with statistics
from the census table, all testifying to the
TACT that the free trade decade from 1850 tC
1860 is the golden decade in our country:
history. No line Of progress was depressed
In agriculture, manufacture and COM
merce, prosperity was universal. In 1861
we had the greatest tonnage of any nation OF
earth. Under 2G years of protection oul
merchant marine has disappeared,-as
loss to the nation in its carrying trade, as
stated by Mr.. Secy. Blaine, of over three
hundred millions per annum.
From the first, immigration from Europe
had been an index of our prosperity. In
periods of depression 1t falls eff in prosper.
ity, 1t multiplies oft times many fold. The
question is asked, why If free trade is
better than protection, do people leave free
trade England and come to America?
would answer this question by asking
another. If they are In quest Of protection
why don't they go a less distance and get
more of it? Why don't they go to Ger
many, Russia, France, Spain Or Italy? In
deed why is emigration form New England
to the boundless West still greater than
from old England, or from protection
Germany still greater than from free trade
England? Emigration from Europe was
greater from 1850 to 1860 than in any other
decade either before Or since that time.
If emigrants are in search of the benefits
of protection why did the greatest volume
come here during our free trade decade
But in no branch of industry was the energy
of that decade displayed in more marked
degree perhaps than In railroad construct
ion. In that ten years of free trade more
miles of railroad were constructed in Unit
ed States, chan were built by all the other
nations of earth combined! and more miles
were built in that decade, than any other
nation of earth possesses to day! was this
marvellous progress the work of a people
exhausted and depressed by fifteen years
of free trade from 1916 to 1861?
Indeed, there is no better attested fact in
history, than that a period OF profound and
universal prosperity followed the adoption
of free trade in 1916. So wide spread and
apparent were its blessings that 1t confound-
ed and silenced all opposition, and so con-
r,,,aJ opd copvarted all narties and classes
of men, that after ten years of its practical
application not even the suggestion OF a
desire to return TO the system of protection
arose from any quarter Mr.. Blaine in his
history, himself testifes of this period as
follows
1.-THE principles embodied In the tariff OF
1916, seemed for the time to be so entirely
vindicated and approved that resistance to
II ceased; not only among the people, but
among the protective economists, and even
among the manufacturers to large extent

To the board of Supervisors


Getilemen-Allow an old associate Z
intrude upon your attention for moment
In this, the only way open to citizen, no
member OF your body. My object Is t.
offer suggestion relative to the genera
make up Of the annual financial statment
submitted in September of each year
First, let me call your attention to sect
ion 90, Chapter "a, Revised Statutes, the
fifth paragraph of which requires an
itemized statement of all receipts and
expenditures, etc. While the provisions OF
this section have long been known to some
and doubtless, to many members OF the
Board, such report as contemplated there
in, was deemed lmpracticable, being too ex'
pensive for publication, and so voluminous
as to deter the average mortal from IN at.
tempt to read it, and the publication of the
proceedings of the Board as required by
the fourth paragraph of said section was
considered a sufficient compliance with the
law for all practical purposes.
But, as there are other payments from the
County Treasury, besides those made upon
the order of the Board OF Supervisors, a
publication of their proceedings does not
show the entire financial transactions of
the county. / would therefore suggest
that the spirit or the law and the interests
of tax payers would be equally subserved,
by grouping together payments of class
TO illustrate:
PAID ON ACCOUNT OF
Board of Supervisors, per dion and mileage s
Jurors in Circuit CT. " - g S
Paupers in Co.Asylum,
Partial support for pat,s outside Of Asylum s.
Etc, etc, thus presenting condensed
summary OF the entire financial transactions
of the county for the year, and showing
also, the cost of each branch of the service.
These remarks are not designed as a
reflection upon the present, or any past
Board of Supervisors, or any member
thereof, believing the Board has acted in
perfect good faith for the promotion OF the
public interest, and that much of the abuse
heaped upon the Board had better been
directed against the imperfect system un.
der which we are working.
Hoping these suggestions will meet your
approyal, shall await with some interest
your forthcoming report. In the mean
time | desire to be remembered as one who
has been there. JAMES w. STEVENSON.

But the revolution went not bacl word
The free trade tariff went into opera, ion in
the spring of 1916 and instead of prov ing a
continuous wasting disease" we have seen
that It's effect upon labor was directly the
opposite, that after the overthrow of
protection by the tariff Of 1916 until 1,6l
wages of American labor rose more steadily
and rapidly than ever before or since that
time. That the wages of glass making

tury" in 1860. That high wages come
hand In hand with low prices for the
necessaries of life, to the material and
general betterment of the laborer.
The result proved also, that protectionists
were equally short sighted In their pre-.
dictlons concerning the effect of free trade
upon the industries; instead of prostration
there came buoyancy; instead of paralysis,
strength and vitality; instead of loss there
came with expanded markets, a greater
demand and surer profit. The several
census reports show that the value OF
